Not to be outdone by rival campaigns, here's the greatest gosh-diddly dang VP support thread ever to grace the forums.

1harder (PBUH) - OriginsI had (foolishly) considered doing a presidential run at one point; I even had platforms made up for things like resolving the rift between moderation standards and their enforcement, among others.. I knew what I wanted to see happen, but I didn't know how to articulate it, and outside of Hangouts and Mafia, I'm not a recognizable name.

Enter Harder (PBUH). He articulated many of the vague notions I had in a much clearer way, and asked me to sign on; if nothing else, I'm at least not the least bit controversial as a member. Of note was the way that he always listened to my suggestions; I've had a hand in hashing out a good deal of the programs since before the announcement went out. His programs are the most helpful for the site in the long run, and he's going the distance. He's going for speed. She's all alone (all alone, all alone) in a time of need.

2harder (PBUH) - Structural ReformDDO is an organic site, and that's great. Unfortunately, it also leaves it very vulnerable to shifts in the status quo. If Airmax is attacked by an axolotl-eating maniac, we need a system to ensure the site doesn't implode. Thus the new purpose of the president as a liaison to the mod.

This also entails keeping a circulation of fresh blood to be sacrificed to the DDO Eli... er, new members in the site. Harder's (PBUH) specific outreach programs like the currently running mentor-ship program will ensure a more personal atmosphere to get the members that come to stay.

3harder (PBUH) - Class with AssertivenessHarder (PBUH) has remarkable maturity, but he's also willing to stand up for himself when necessary. Unlike a President Me, for example, who would bend over backwards and break my spine trying to accommodate everyone, he knows that there's a time where conflict is stressful but necessary to make the truth known. This sometimes results in bad blood, but if the campaign thus far is any indication, these conflicts have been resolved with relatively remarkable speed and have been minor in scope. I've had a pretty easy time ignoring it. No president is going to be perfectly uncontroversial, but Harder (PBUH) is pretty close to perfectly controversial. Given where we three started this campaign, we've been the merry bunch of outsiders fighting for the 99%.

4harder (PBUH) - ConclusionHarder (PBUH) the guy with the class and sass for the job, and I'm glad to be on his ticket.

As for me, I am committed to playing a strong part in his programs (as is Hayd). We're both involved in his mentoring pilot, and the preventative Community Leadership Program is something I'm probably more passionate about than Harder (PBUH).

Remember--this election, get out and... well, see my sig.

What's a "pbuh" and if it means "peace be upon him" doesn't that imply harder is dead?

Perhaps, but only to the extent that Harder has risen again to deliver DDO to paradise.

A moment or two of serious self-scrutiny, and you might observe that you no more decide the next thought you think than the next thought I write- Sam Harris

Well, the course of action that they should so obviously take is to become vampires, for it is only this way that they be granted eternal life on this earth; not having to wait upon the promise of heaven or hell, or the inexorable and unyielding certainty of having their flesh decompose upon death, moment by moment, week by week- Emilrose

So harder is Jesus?

He is in fact all the deities of major religions simultaneously. Think of Him as sort of an over-God of the multiverse.
